Recorded temperature data of a reinforced concrete, 1.2-m long, beam-slab model and associated meteorological data.

The data contain internal and surface temperature measurements of a 1.2 m-long, reinforced concrete girder-slab element exposed to the environmental conditions of the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia (Coordinates: 7°08'35", 73°07'18"). In addition, meteorological variables of the environment near the element were recorded.  The data was measured from July 7, 2023, to November 6, 2023.

The data were obtained by:

Internal Temperature (file name: InternalTemperature): 40 thermocouples were embedded in the element (Fig. 1) to collect data every 30 minutes from 6:30 AM on July 10, 2023 to 11:30 PM on November 6, 2023.  Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (°C).

Surface Temperature (file name: SurfaceTemperatureCameraEast and SurfaceTemperatureCameraWest): A FLIR E6 XT thermal camera was used to record Surface temperature of 10 points on the EAST (Fig. 2) and WEST (Fig. 3) faces of the element from 6:30 AM on June 29, 2023 to 4 PM on October 31, 2023. Twenty daily measurements were recorded every 30 minutes. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (°C).

Surface Temperature (file name: SurfaceTemperatureDroneEast): A DJI MAVIC 2 ENTERPRISE ADVANCED (EU) drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera measured the surface temperature of 10 points on the EAST side of the element (Fig. 4) every 30 minutes, from 6:30 AM on September 9 to 4 PM on October 31. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (°C).

Meteorological variables (file name: WeatherStationData): A DAVIS VANTAGE PRO-2 WLRS weather station recorded data every 30 minutes from 12 AM on July 10, 2023, to 12:30 PM on November 6, 2023.  The data included the average, maximum, and minimum ambient temperature (°C); relative humidity (%); speed (m/s) and wind direction (cardinal direction); atmospheric pressure (mb); precipitation (mm) and average and maximum solar radiation (W/m2).
